I love Marine logs. My friend J**** told me some years ago that basically Marines get to have fun and kick ass. That, plus a whole load of attitude. ________________________________ From: Constance Koenig <dorafane@xxxxxxxxx> To: avalon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 15, 2009 1:50:41 AM Subject: <USS Avalon> Marines, Lock and Load! Dora looked to her team. "This is going to be a dangerous job. Look to the person next to you and say goodbye. The chances are, we won't be coming back. We will go and do our duty. We will do what we set out to do, or not come back at all. The Breen are very dangerous. We know very little about them. We, who are empaths and telepaths can not sense either their thoughts or emotions. We know that they wear refrigeration suits to keep them cool. They have no blood or circulatory system.. That may account for the suits. No one has ever seen what a Breen looks like under their suits and lived to tell about it. Breens are physically more resilient than most humanoids. Be prepared. Watch out for their weapon called a neural truncheon. It sends a surge of electricity throughout the body which paralyzes you. Repeated contact may result in short-term damage to the brain. Now we go to protect our fellow comrades. We will win this day. No one, not even the Breen are invincible. We've proved that during the Dominion War. WE WILL WIN THIS DAY. You have the training. Follow it but do not be afraid of new ideas. Observe all there is to see, feel, smell, feel and hear. Is everyone ready? OK Marines! LOCK AND LOAD!"
